Iran says French accusations that it was responsible for cyberattacks on supermarket fridges last month are “baseless”, AFP reports.
“Iran’s foreign ministry categorically rejects the French government’s baseless and one-sided accusations against Iran regarding alleged cyber activities in France,” the ministry says in a statement, adding that it “strongly condemns this hackneyed policy of levelling accusations against the Islamic republic”.
Hundreds of French supermarkets were hit in the October 11 and 12 cyberattacks, which raised the temperatures in their refrigerators and freezers, forcing many to throw away entire inventories of perishable food.
